LEAF PICK UP SERVICE
Roadside pickup for leaves begins the 2nd week of October and ends the last week of November.
The Village staff has a route that starts on the West side of Main St and finishes on the East side. When a lot of leaves are out it can take us 3 - 4 full days to complete the route. At times you may have a pile for a week or more if are timing is different. Your patience is appreciated.
NOTE:
- Leaves should be raked to the roadside.
- Do not rake leaves into roads as drainage problems develop with any amounts of rain.
- Help keep catch basins clear.
- Long rows parallel to the road can be picked up much more efficiently then big piles.
- Do not put sticks or garden debris in leaves as this can damage the equipment.
If you have garden debris, you can bring it to the DPW facilities on Ulrich Lane off Maplewood Avenue and add to our compost pile. Call 624-3620 for hours.
Regular Brush pickup has ended for this season and will start again in March. Residents can take brush they need to dispose of to the Town of Mendon Highway Facility on Semmel Road. The Village and Town have a combined facility at their location. Call 624-6068 for hours.
